Hi! I'm from Singapore and working towards becoming a pastry chef. I believe that formal education is not a must, as the internet is full of brilliant and generous minds, and books will fill up most of the remaining gaps. I work hard and learn from my mistakes, if you would like to hire me, or chat about desserts and life, drop me an email at ahboing at gmail dot com :)
